Let me also recommend a 9/11 web site that has the courage to confront evidence of Israeli complicity in 9/11, which is http://rediscover911.com. I recommend it to everyone who has a serious interest in the truth about 9/11.

Interesting site. I read the article "Introduction: Israel and 9/11," along with the one comment, posted a week ago, in which the commentator refers to Obama as "our Nappy headed Jew boy."

I have a "serious interest" in 9/11, but I don't think I'll be going back to that site, for all of its "courage," for information.

So someone posted a COMMENT and you reject a site on that basis? This is nice

reflection of the shallow thought of many on forums like this one. I can't believe

anyone would take someone like you seriously when you are so superficial. And

tell me which other sites have the integrity to follow the evidence about the perps

of 9/11? But then, I am quite sure you don't need to bother with evidence, either.

Understanding Israel's criminal seige of Gaza; one facet of US Orwellian "leadership"

I previously wrote that if Iran had carried out the Gaza carnage, the US and Israel would have already initiated war against Iran.

In my comprehensive resource article, "Government by dicts," is the documentation of acknowledged US military/CIA control of corporate media that explains why US public understanding of Israel's criminal Crime against Peace and War Crimes are unclear.

The following video walks people through the facts. It uses the language of the below published article by Joe Mowrey. UNICEF documented their agreement of the semi-starvation of Gaza's children through Israel's blockade, and the UN Chief Commissioner for Human Rights declares the seige unlawful. If you are unfamiliar with the history of Israel attacking the USS Liberty in 1967 with complicity of the US government to use the deaths of US military to justify wars of choice, read this.

In the Israeli attack of the aid ship attempting to deliver medical and humanitarian supplies, Israeli forces executed an American citizen with four close-range shots to the back of his head, consistent with similar autopsy reports showing other victims shot at close-range to the back of the head while probably kneeling (deduced from the angle of the bullet paths).

Gaza in Plain Language

by Joe Mowrey / January 19th, 2010

In articles acknowledging the one year anniversary of the assault on Gaza, blunt and unsparing language about what really happened is often avoided. Despite sympathy for and support of the Palestinian people in their struggle against dispossession and oppression, the description of what took place in January 2009 is sometimes buffered by a misguided sense of political correctness. Yes, it’s terrible. Yes, it is unjust. But we don’t want to be inflammatory or risk offending the sensitivities of those who through their own willful ignorance cling to the notion that Israel is a victim state, fighting for its very survival. The argument is that we should reach out to them and attempt to educate them and win them over.

I’ll be more forthright in this commentary.

The sociopathic Zionist administration of Israel, as part of its continuing brutal colonization of Palestine, set out to deliberately devastate the already nearly-incapacitated infrastructure which supports the existence of one and a half million human refugees. The people of Gaza, second-, third-, and fourth-generation dispossessed Palestinians, are living in forced exile from land their families inhabited and cultivated for generations. Half of them are children under the age of fifteen. Their culture and their economy has been systematically ravaged by Israel for decades and since 2006 a criminal siege supported by the United States, as well as much of the international community, has deprived them of all but the most minimal resources for subsistence. This oppressed and brutalized population was then bombed, bulldozed and terrorized mercilessly for twenty-three days.

Below is a small sampling of facts concerning what the fourth largest military in the world did to a captive and defenseless population. The source materials used to substantiate these statistics are available on request. If the reality presented here goes beyond the stretch of your imagination, you can verify the data yourself. Though you’d better hurry. Much of this information appears to be disappearing down Google’s memory hole, just as is the fate of the people of Gaza. A source referencing the percentage of agricultural land destroyed in the onslaught which was used for a shorter version of this article just a few weeks ago is no longer archived in Google’s cache. Surprise, surprise.

You will also find that exact figures vary somewhat depending on the source. But whether it was 21,000 structures or 22,000 structures destroyed, whether 280 schools were destroyed or badly damaged verses 230, the overwhelming truth of the physical devastation which took place in Gaza and the fact that this destruction was deliberate and premeditated is irrefutable. Even the Goldstone Report, itself a document with severe pro-Zionist overtones issued by a declared Zionist and a supporter of Israel, states unequivocally, “…[the] deliberate actions of the Israeli forces and the declared policies of the Government of Israel … cumulatively indicate the intention to inflict collective punishment on the people of the Gaza Strip in violation of international humanitarian law.”

We’ve heard time and again that more than 1400 Palestinians were killed, over 80% of them civilians, including 342 children. It has become a familiar talking point in discussions of last year’s assault, so much so that it may have lost its impact on our consciousness. But what we often aren’t reminded of is the horrific level of carefully-planned destruction of civilian infrastructure in Gaza orchestrated by Israel during Operation Cast Lead.

Financed and armed by the United States, the Israeli military destroyed fifteen percent of the structures in Gaza, approximately 22,000 buildings, including 5300 housing units destroyed or subject to major damage. Another 52,000 homes received some form of structural damage. Over 200 factories and 700 stores and businesses were destroyed or badly damaged. Of the residences, factories and businesses completely destroyed, 1300 of the homes and approximately 25% of the commercial property was deliberately and painstakingly bulldozed or exploded by Israeli ground forces. Eight hospitals and 26 primary health care clinics were damaged or destroyed. More than 280 schools were damaged or destroyed.

Water and sewage treatment facilities as well as electricity infrastructure were deliberately targeted leaving vast segments of the population with little or no power or clean water for the duration of the assault and for weeks and months to follow. Massive amounts of agricultural lands were systematically bombed or bulldozed. Some estimates suggest that as much as 80% of the arable land in Gaza has been ruined or declared off-limits to the people of Gaza over the last decade. Two million litres of wastewater at Gaza City’s sewage treatment plant, bombed during the assault, leaked into surrounding agricultural land making it unusable.

An Israeli television station boasted that Israeli war planes alone, without accounting for tank, ground troop and warship ammunition, dropped approximately one thousand tons of bombs on Gaza during Operation Cast Lead. The effort involved months, if not years, of carefully-considered target selection, giving lie to any claim that the devastation was incidental. It requires a stunning level of denial and self-delusion to pretend the destruction which was achieved in Gaza had anything to do with Israel’s “security” or the targeting of Hamas militants. This was savage and barbaric collective punishment unleashed on a civilian population, nothing more. Any suggestion to the contrary must be sharply and immediately ridiculed as absurd.

This was arguably the first aerial bombing campaign ever conducted on a defenseless civilian population held captive within a fenced enclosure and not allowed to escape the assault. It is a measure of the cynical mindset of the Israeli military that leaflets were sometimes dropped in neighborhoods about to be bombed suggesting the residents flee. We are about to destroy your home; you had better get out. Flee to where? Gazans are not allowed to leave their open-air prison, not even when under attack. This tactic on the part of Israel also gives lie to the claim that homes and buildings were targeted because there were Hamas militants “hiding” inside. Why then warn them to leave before destroying the structures?

Given this litany of horror and the coldly premeditated nature of its execution, we need to ask what kind of society condones this level of savagery on the part of their government? What precedent is there for such monstrous disregard for even the most basic tenets of human decency? We need look no further than the behavior of our very own United States, of course. In Iraq, the toll of our psychotic militarism is well over a million human beings (not counting the years of punishing economic sanctions) and a large part of the infrastructure of an entire nation of more than 26 million people has been obliterated. Let’s not even begin to tally up the deaths resulting from U.S. imperialism around the globe in the last sixty years alone. It would put the Zionists to shame–mere pikers in the annals of human slaughter.

And what of Gaza today, one year later? Israel’s continued illegal siege, enabled by the U.S., Egypt (a U.S. client state) and the international community has prevented any substantial amount of building materials from entering Gaza. Essentially, no reconstruction has been possible. The people of Gaza live amongst the rubble left to them by Israeli hatred and aggression. They are attempting to rebuild their society using mud bricks and materials salvaged from the wreckage.

The next time someone attempts to argue, “Israel has a right to defend itself,” or uses what I call the abusive spouse defense, ”Look what you made me do,” tell them, “No.” Tell them there is no and can never be any acceptable justification for the deliberate devastation of entire societies, no matter what political, ideological or “security” issues, real or imagined, may be at stake. It is unconscionable. It is wrong. Plainly put, there is no sane argument in favor of such behavior. Those who believe there is must be contradicted and opposed at every available opportunity.

To censor or not to censor, that is the question. Have you read the book

Lifton attacks, STRANGER THAN FICTION? Have you listened to the

program during which I read from it? Are you aware my programs are

archived as mp3s and have no video component? Have you given any

thought at all to the baselessness of most of what Lifton has written?

DSL REPLYING HERE TO FETZER:

See below for a verbal description of some of the graphics used in connection with Fetzer’s podcasts. These graphics are on the screen during his YouTube presentation, as he reads aloud from “Stranger than Fiction,” Pastore’s book promoting the theory that Israel was responsible for 9/11.

From beginning to end, it is clear that Jim Fetzer endorses the view that Israel is responsible for the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001, and he illustrates his view with very ugly and inflammatory anti-Semitic graphics. In Fetzer’s view, “the Jews” (over the last 150 years, at least) are responsible for many of the evils of the modern world, and when one buys into his theory that the State of Israel was the responsible for the destruction of the World Trade Center, the circle is complete (as they say) and the elements are all there for demonizing the Jews, and for arguing, to a large extent, that they are the “first cause” of much evil in the modern world.

The graphics employed by Fetzer make explicitly clear what he thinks of "the Jews" in general, and Israel in particular.

The first one makes clear who Fetzer believes is responsible—the Jewish Star of David superimposed over the image of the burning Twin Towers in New York City.

Next comes an anti-Semitic headline in newspaper asserting that Jewish forces political forces were responsible for starting the conflict with Germany (“Judea Declares War on German/Jews Of the World Unite in Action”). In other words—Hitler didn’t start World War II—it was an act of self-defense after being provoked by world Jewry!

Another shows the burly hand of a Jew, emblazoned with the Star of David, stabbing a knife in the back of a German Solder—another of Fetzer’s graphics pushing the view that Judaism plotted to destroy Germany (and, like the other graphics, all tis appears under the YouTube headline, presumably written by Fetzer himself), “Jim Fetzer KNOWS Israel Did 911”.

Next comes a caricature of a smiling fat Jewish banker, with blood dripping from his hands, and (again) a Star of David , apparently intended to show how Jewish bankers control world events (and particularly, how they influenced Britain in connection with the Balfour declaration, the partition of Palestine, etc.).

Another graphic shows Fetzer’s rogue’s gallery of politicians and financial interests—symbolized by specific Jews—that influenced US President Woodrow Wilson (the photos are of Chaim Weizmann, Louis Brandeis, Bernard Baruch, captioned as “The Three Zionists who Squeezed Woodrow Wilson”);

. . .and then finally, the graphic showing an ugly and evil looking Jewish bird of prey, identified by the Star of David, having a helpless figure labeled “International Community” in its jaws.

So this is Fetzer’s latest “conspiracy theory”—we have now moved beyond Dealey Plaza and beyond the fantasist Judyth, to this area; to the case of 9/11—another area where Fetzer claims expertise (of course!)—and to his belief that the "the Jews"--over the course of many decades--and the State of Israel, in this instance, are the culprits.

Speaking only for myself, I don’t care if Jim Fetzer can edit a list of 59 witnesses who believed the President’s car stopped on Elm Street, or whether he endorses my book (or Doug Horne’s work) about the falsification of the medical evidence.

I don’t want to be associated with this kind of political pornography against Jewish people and the State of Israel.

As I wrote in an email to a friend this morning, addressing the issue of just what makes Fetzer tick:

QUOTE: “But to repeat my major point: Fetzer is not really an anti-Semite. He's just an attention-seeking fool, who will argue ANY position with great authority and pomposity as long as it puts him in the spotlight.

In this case, and most unfortunately, his historical "confreres" are the likes of Goebbels and Hitler.

“If they were alive and had sponsored a '9/11 Conference,' you can be sure that Jim Fetzer would be among the first to sign up, and then utilize that as a springboard to get on the equivalent of O'Reilly. UNQUOTE

As Fetzer exulted recently (in an email) upon discovering he was the accidental beneficiary of some unexpected publicity (when another person named Fetzer (Republican chairman Tim Fetzer, of North Carolina—no relation) improperly endorsed a primary opponent, causing a dust-up amongst the supporters of his tea party opponent): “You can't buy publicity like this and I am doing an event in London in Judy about 9/11!”

All very well. Let Fetzer market his political pornography elsewhere. I want no part of it (or him). Its not that Fetzer is “politically incorrect.” He’s just a pompous ass. Remember what attorney Welch said to Sen. Joe McCarthy in June, 1954: “Have you no sense of decency?” That’s just about how I feel about Jim Fetzer, and his attempt to gain publicity for himself as he attempts to hold Israel (and “the Jews”) responsible for the destruction for the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

DSL

PS: And oh, by the way, did you know that many of the hijackers who flew the planes in 9/11/2001, actually are alive and well? . . .and were simply victims of identity theft? Didn't know that, eh? Well, then you must read "Stronger Than Fiction," because that's what this book, promoted by Fetzer, states. But I'll save everyone the trouble of reading that tripe, by quoting, here, from page 17:

QUOTE: That's right! Seven of the nineteen "hijackers" are alive and well. They were victims of identity theft, some of whom had had their passports stolen. They were interviewed by several news organizations including the Telegraph of England." etc. UNQUOTE

This is the kind of junk that Fetzer is promoting, aside from the over arching multiple anti-Semitic theses, illustrated by highly inflammatory graphics, about "the Jews."

Yes, I am showing "my true colors" by following the evidence where it leads,

which has always been my trait, even when it runs contrary to sacred cows

like the myth of Israel as a special nation, which I used to believe. Do you

really think you know what you are talking about, because my impression is

that you, like Lifton in this case, like to make remarks based upon ignorance?

Jim shows his true colours. I'm not surprised at all except for the fact that he has finally done so. I wont be surprised by what's to come.

Yes I do Jim.

I think you should read your post a bit more carefully. You might see what I mean. Hope your foot tastes good.

edit:typo

John,

Why am I not surprised?

After having been exposed to Fetzer's normal attempts of character assassination, I decided to have a look at who this fella is. Not surprisingly, he has a record that is quite amazing. In any "conspiracy", it seems that Jim's position always is that what's imaginable - is more than likely to have occurred.

Look at this discussion, where he's suggesting that FDNY high ranking members could have been involved in 9/11:

And notice the demeaing and derogatory language vs those who disagree. If you're not a scholar of high ranks, in Fetzer's mind you know nothing and have nothing to add. A familiar pattern, in other words.

This page is also very interesting. Fetzer, along with a few other researchers are regarded as crackpots, not to be taken seriously about 9/11, and a long list of reasons for this view:

Now, having read information like this, it's amazing how similar Fetzer's behavior is to that which he has shown related to JVB issues. It's a good thing there are rules on this forum that stipulates no questions asked about members research abilities or their motives. But what I can say is that as far as I'm concerned, JVB is probably a more credible source than Jim Fetzer. Her credibility, as demonstrated here over the past couple of months, is not high in my opinion.
